Get rid of the motorcycle helmets and the ballistic armament and go back to what real football players used to wear.

ABS brakes don't make people safer because they just drive faster. Same thing with protective gear. Take away the gear, and the players' sense of self-preservation will take care of the rest.

Yep.
The concussion issue is a very real; tragic thing. Terry Bradshaw and Brett Favre are the latest players to come out with the symptoms.
The players are so much faster and stronger now. The brain hasn’t grown protection in the same manner.
Bradshaw says he wouldn’t let his son play football today.
